Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully and become familiar with all parts before installation.

STEP 1

Threshold (A) is overcut. Measure opening for threshold and cut.

STEP 2

Apply a generous bead of silicone based caulk to the underside of the threshold (A) and place on the curb with the upright leg towards the outside of the unit.

STEP 3

Using a level, position the wall jambs (B) on the threshold and against the walls. For a typical plumb installation with little adjustment needed, position the longer legs of the wall jamb toward the opening. For extreme out of plumb situations or when more adjustment is necessary, position longer legs of wall jamb toward the wall.

STEP 4

Mark through the holes provided for anchoring. Drill 3/16" holes and insert plastic anchors (C) for masonry applications or drill 1/8" tap holes for fiberglass and acrylic units. Secure wall jambs (B) to the walls with #8 x 2-1/2" screws (D).

STEP 5

Position the door panel assembly (E) into the opening. Plumb the door assembly and secure it to the wall jamb (B) using #8 x 1/2" Tek screws (F) through the holes provided.

STEP 6

Position the strike jamb assembly (G) and plumb to the door panel assembly (E). Secure the strike jamb to the wall jamb (B) as in step #4.

STEP 7

Secure the drip anchor (AA) with sweep (BB) to the bottom of the door panel assembly using # 8 x ½" Tek screws (F) through the holes provided. The drip anchor should be flush with the bottom of the door.

STEP 8

Insert the drip channel end plug (DD) into the end of the drip channel (CC).

NOTE: Before inserting the end plug put a small drop of clear silicone on the bottom.

Position the drip channel with the highest point toward the strike jamb and angle down for desired drainage. Secure in position with #6 x 7/32" screws (EE) provided.

STEP 9

Install the handles (I) with #6-32 x 1-1/2" screws (J) provided.

STEP 10

Caulk all edges and joints exposed to water using a silicone based caulk or other suitable sealant that will prevent water leakage.
